Cruz has been on the receiving end of confrontations this week. On Wednesday, the Texas senator called a reporter a propagandist after being asked why mass shootings are endemic to American life.

Cruz confronted Stone, asking why people from all over the world come to America. It is the most prosperous and safest country on Earth.
The governor was confronted by Beto O'Rourke at a press conference on Wednesday, who told him to stop the next shooting.
All hypocritical assholes like O'Rourke just did.

He doesn't think Cruz will learn anything from those encounters.
I will tell you this. If he thinks people won't confront you in safe places. I want you to know that you are going to be confronted if you go to Uptown Sushi in the Galleria or River Oaks. I think he will take it away.
